Twilight Cast Evacuated Amid Tsunami Warning

The cast and crew of the next Twilight film, Breaking Dawn, was forced to evacuate their set on Vancouver Island in Canada amid a tsunami warning stemming from last night’s earthquake in Japan. From People.com:

The actors are not believed to be in any danger, but for safety measures they apparently have been moved out of the region.

The town where production is taking place, Tofino, contains a long stretch of open coast on the furthest westerly point of the island and was seen in the earlier The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

I’ve been watching coverage of this story (the Japan part, not the Twilight part) pretty much non-stop since 5 AM. It’s insane. Half of Japan is underwater and the other half is on fire. As someone who has a recurring dream about dying in a giant tsunami, this is pretty much the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. So, as easy as it would be to make mean, horrible jokes about the Twilight movies or their fans here, I’m gonna take a pass. Even on the part of the story in that link involving cast member Tinsel Korey hyper-dramatically Tweeting, “They’re evacuating us 4 a tsumnani [sic] warning. If this … is my last my tweet. I love you. The end. Hugz.” My restraint is strong.

In conclusion, because I don’t really know how to end this post, this is the video for “Straight to My Feet” by MC Hammer and Deion Sanders from the Street Fighter soundtrack.

Either my comment was too funny to follow, or I’m the only one who follows Danger Guerrero on twitter.

Well, there goes any hope of a silver lining.

I figured you would want the cast of Twilight as close to a Tsunami as possible. That much condensed suck would have been like a big tweener paper towel over Asia.

@Jacktion! – Haven’t my spambots been commenting? They have lots of interesting things to say about discount shoes and what not. Could be a COTW winner.

Are you sure you quoted that tweet from a cast memeber correctly? I find it hard to believe that someone named their kid Tinsel and then that kid grew up to be retarded.

I hate that I wasted a perfectly good joke in the Matt Has AIDS post. Be that as it may, here goes again:

That tsunami hit Japan fast and furious, making Tokyo drift.

If Bella’s felt womb had gotten wet it would have mildewed. And there is no way a homo vampire is going to chew a baby out of your snatch when it stinks of mildewy felt womb.

You ever type something and think, “You know self, that sentence has never been written before. No way.” The second in my prior did.

Can’t help but notice Deion’s absence during the confrontation at the end- dude won’t tackle even in a music video.

Also to this day every time I see Deion on NFL Network I always say “Prime to the hammer, hammer to the prime.” Completely forgot where that came from until now- thanks!

When asked by a reporter what his opinion of the tsunami was, a confused Taylor Lautner replied, (*tilts head to the side, 5 second pause, dramatically strips off shirt*) “This!“

The Christian Virgin Cat Lady think-tank is having an emergency meeting to discuss how God can let something this terrible happen…

I was hoping you’d put up the MC Hammer video for “Pumps in a Bump”. That zebra skin speedo of his is absolutely spectacular.

MC Hammer was asked to deploy all his parachute pants to the region for floatation assistance.

Ok, I just read the headline and guessed as to what the story was about (I’m an American, dammit, I don’t have time to wade through all of your ass-grabbery). To be fair to the Twilight cast, I’d probably shit myself if I was in the middle of that, too.
